Practical criticism underlies everything students of English literature do. It is a way of reading the text closely, but with a grasp of the larger issues involved. This book is a practical, step-by-step guide which shows the student how to gain a sense of what a poem or passage of prose or drama is about, how to analyze it and how to build a successful essay. Easy to read and uncluttered by technical vocabulary, it will prove a useful resource for any student.
